Thanks for pointing that out. My apologies. I did not and do not see that notice on the website.

I received an email regarding the announcement. It didn't include any specifications so I searched "Librem 5 v2" and found this page.

After looking again at the unsolicited email I received - I see the disclaimer at the bottom in italicized text which I've been trained to ignore. It's regrettable the embargo notice was not the first paragraph of the email.

I'm not really sure what to do now. It doesn't appear I can delete a post.


You may want to write to hn@ycombinator.com.

Folks seeing this can also flag it. Will likely get their attention faster.

Flagging does not necessary bring attention of the mods. It just hides the submission from those who did not turn on "show dead".

I am using something similar. I then setup an additional container with Caddy that has the API keys and modifies headers so the AI containers never see them. Pi for example can use this setup.

For SSH I've started migrating from one prover wide key to multiple project scoped keys. I was also using SSH inside the container but realized I could just make commits inside and then eventually push from outside.

I think hardening tips for Docker/Podman could warrant its own "Ask HN" post - not just for reducing exposure to agents but also all the recent supply chain attacks.


I have been kicking the tires on yoloai which seems to automate the "intercept API calls to hide API keys" step and the "sandbox the files in a docker container" step, with support for inspecting the files / diff before applying.

I don't quite have it to a smooth workflow for my needs ("research this codebase and draft a plan we can discuss, with code examples") but it seems promising.

I member those


I've completed a few square kilometers around my home while walking my dog over the last year. I'd like to get better at remembering to check the app when I'm in different neighborhoods.

With the ease of use of StreetComplete, it really wouldn't take many volunteers in a city to complete all quests. And I'd love for a privacy focused navigation app to also have the best datasets for public roads and businesses.


I have done my while neighborhood. Not a single quest left. Not without a sense of pride.


The feature I don't want to pay for but would be nice to have: deeper level proxied wildcards.

> If you want to proxy a wildcard DNS record on a deeper level like .www.mycoolwebpage.xyz you can subscribe to Cloudflare Advanced Certificate Manager and get a certificate that is covering that wildcard ¹ ²

When building out services in my smart home, I started with something like 'home.domain.com'. I used Let's Encrypt for services like 'smart.home.domain.com' (and I think Cloudflare proxied these for free?) but realized I was losing some privacy since the subdomains were describing my network services. I also wasn't aware SSL certificates are a permanent record (though what isn't these days) and I had to be careful what names I was using.

I realized instead I could use Let's Encrypt wildcard feature '.home.domain.com' and at least limit the private details potentially leaked in certificate history. But because Cloudflare doesn't proxy deeper wildcard subdomains for free, I'd have to manually create each subdomain in Cloudflare DNS - defeating the privacy objective.

For now, instead of wildcards, I'm just using URL path prefixes. For example 'smart.home.domain.com' becomes 'home.domain.com/smart/'. This works pretty easily in a docker host with traefik handling domains, paths, and certificates. Some apps don't work under path prefixes without a lot of tweaks. And it works fine if it's one-to-one server to subdomain - but if I want to host another server at home I have to come up with another subdomain like 'app-home.domain.com'.

I could also move everything into something like tailscale. Then at least the domains are private. Right now I use an oauth2 proxy infront of my services - but most of them don't need direct internet access. The issue is, for the services that do need the convenience of direct access, tailscale funnel doesn't support custom domains.³ And even if eventually they do, maybe they'll also limit subdomain depth or wildcards.

Anyway for privacy reasons it'd be swell if deeper level subdomain certificates were part of the free tier.

I have set up let's encrypt with DNS challenge running a wildcard in on a subdomain. Its not a recursive wildcard, but for me, it works good enough. Some of the software I host in my home network expects to run as the root on a web server.

The DNS wildcard points to a 192.168.xxx.xxx address. I don't really care that the IP adres of my home server is public :)


How would any DNS service proxy wildcards? Is that something that’s actually supported as part of DNS? What actually gets resolved in that case? I’ve always had to register every domain/subdomain that should get proxied.


I use .lan..net for my internal servers at work, through cloudflare dns. It's simple, all .lan get resolved to the same IP. And the server has something like caddy or nginx to take the traffic, see the destination, and forward properly into the network


I implemented similar feature in my app https://tarvis.io

Tarvis allows people to self host apps without managing servers. Each workspace gets their wild card cert at *.weightedreply.tarvis.site.

Then when any app is installed by user in their workspace, they get subdomians under that wildcard without leaking what apps are running there. N8n app gets n8n.weightedreply.tarvis.site and hermes gets hermes.weightedreply.tarvis.site.

The proxy and auth is handled by self hosted pomerium so no dns records are published for any app subdomians under that workspace url.

I am using Google certificate manager which is free to generate and manage these wildcard certs. I know Google is not preferred but that's the only free service I could find to do this.


> cocaine *and* pot

I don't think these very different drugs should be compared equivocally.

And while both drugs have the possibility of abuse; most issues stem from legality - not the chemical effects.


We should probably start saying "sugar and cocaine". Since sugar is heavily addictive it can be equivocated the same.

Maybe that will help some people see how ridiculous it is to generalise like that.


The slope of addictive drugs with negative side effects starts with alcohol, then comes nicotine, pot, cocaine, crack, fentinal .... and then all the really exotic modern stuff. It is a spectrum. Some argue that there are upsides, and there are certainly uses for all these drugs, but no sane doctor would say they have no downsides, that unrestrained use is ever a good thing.


How are you determining this scale?

Alcohol has greater negative side effects than pot, and nicotine is more addictive than cocaine or pot. I’m not sure what you mean by “exotic modern stuff,” but if it includes hallucinogens (what people usually mean by modern/exotic drugs) then they’re not really addictive at all.

I ask because the scale reads more like a morality scale than anything based on actual negative effects, either in the individual or society.


I learned a lot about culverts after following post 10! ¹

Came here to post his channel as soon as I saw culvert! Highly recommended. Beaver dams be damned.


Isn't it silly that this even needs to be a conversation? Shouldn't we be able to write in any language we want and have the bindings for it to work cross platform? And shouldn't AI aid in building those cross-platform tools?

Maybe React Native isn't the right choice - but two tech stacks for virtually identical interfaces is dumb. Three stacks if you include browsers.


This looks great!

I use Loop Habit Tracker¹ on Android which at a glance seems similar.

I wish someone could pair a habit tracker with a CalDAV task tracker like jtx Board².

Highly recommend Habit. Been my go to since the past 4y or so


Oh thanks! Do you have a link? I searched but a lot of Habit apps are returned.



Is this really true? "A friend of mine" has been running a Jellyfin server behind Cloudflare tunnels for years and hasn't had any issue.


Not sure if it is still like this, but jellyfin used to leak massive amounts of metadata. For example by checking the thumbnail paths (which were unauthenticated) you could see what shows/movies someone had.

Might want to warn the "friend" if they don't have auth on the tunnel itself.


I would guess they only take action when they get a DMCA complaint and that wouldn't happen if you only share privately with friends.


They can also take action if they decide you're wasting their bandwidth or (especially) cache space. It's not allowed to host video files on any free cloudflare plan due to cache space.


I believe if you are storing the video files on their R2 storage, then it's allowed.
